754 Affection (3)
Shen Miao asked him, “Do you know Chin Kung?”
Cong Yang nodded quickly.
Shen Miao said, “Grab me and bring me to Prince Rui’s mansion.” She thought it was extremely simple, just like what Xie Jingxing had done to her in the past.
As soon as she said that, Cong Yang shook his head repeatedly, his eyes filled with fear. “No!”
“What’s wrong now?!” Shen Miao was running out of patience.
Cong Yang said, “Men and women are not supposed to touch each other.”
Shen Miao was speechless.
She did not know where Xie Jingxing found these guards. They were much more reserved than women. However, no matter what Shen Miao said next, Cong Yang refused to “take” her to Prince Rui’s mansion.
Shen Miao was troubled. Without Cong Yang, she would have to walk out of the Shen mansion’s door. The door was guarded by Shen Xin’s soldiers, so it was impossible for her not to be noticed. If she went out in the middle of the night, her family would probably wake up to stop her. At that time, she would be taken back to her room.
Shen Miao felt a headache coming on.
She looked at the wall outside the courtyard and suddenly had an idea. When Xie Jingxing first moved to Yanqing Alley, because he did not lack money, he bought all the houses adjacent to Prince Rui’s mansion. From the looks of it, Prince Rui’s mansion was located next to the Shen mansion. It was just that the room Xie Jingxing lived in was a little far.
Since Xie Jingxing was her neighbor… Shen Miao’s gaze landed on the high wall in the courtyard. She said, “Let’s climb over the wall.”
Cong Yang looked at her in a daze, as if he did not believe his ears. He was ordered to protect Shen Miao’s safety and had been watching Shen Miao’s every move in the Shen family. He naturally knew what kind of person Shen Miao was. Shen Miao was dignified, calm, and extremely well-behaved. At a young age, she could withstand loneliness. In short, her usual small actions showed that she had a good upbringing. Cong Yang often sighed in his heart that this young madam was different from others. She was born extremely noble. Unexpectedly, at this moment, when he heard that this noble young madam was going to climb over the wall, he thought that there was something wrong with his ears.
Shen Miao glared at him and said sternly, “Can’t you hear me?”
“Yes, I can!” Cong Yang stood up straight, not daring to size up Shen Miao’s expression.
What happened next gave Cong Yang a headache. Previously, he thought that Shen Miao wanted to climb over the wall herself, but what Shen Miao meant was to let him build something like stairs on both sides of the wall so that she could walk up and down on it.
In the middle of the night, Cong Yang could only move bricks over to build up the stairs. The problem was that there were more than ten mansions between Prince Rui’s mansion and the Shen family’s mansion. Every mansion had a wall between them. Moving the bricks, Cong Yang was sweating profusely on the cold day. Looking at Shen Miao walking past the walls with an arrogant expression like she was walking in the palace, Cong Yang sighed deeply, feeling miserable about his life.
If not for the fact that it was inappropriate to touch Shen Miao, Cong Yang would not need to go to such an extent. It was more than enough for him to carry a person over the walls. There was no need for him to run around like this. Previously, when Master transferred him out of the Black Feather Army, his colleagues were envious of his good luck. They did not know that this job was different from being a laborer.
